On some websites (e.g. YouTube), you can copy the URL, open VLC, hit CTRL+V to paste the URL into VLC, wait for it to load, hit CTRL+J (open codec info), select the "location" field, hit CTRL+A (select all) then CTRL+C (copy), go back to the web browser, paste the URL, right-click the video and choose "Save video as..." (or similar).

It's far easier to do than to explain!

Gotta love VLC!

Currently got VLC using NASA's ISS live video feed as my desktop wallpaper

It can only be used with microsoft Silverlight, which itself is next to useless.

+1 for VLC, best there is and free.

blueberry flashback express. now known as flashaback express.

http://www.flashbackrecorder.com/express

Records unlimited length, mouse clicks and audio.

One of the best free and unlimited recorders out there, but for heavens sake before using it record a youtube program/bbc and other streaming programs to get frame rate, and audio, and sound quality, and video converter correct.

Nothing more annoying after the fact having an unwatchable vid (or a black rectangle) and with no sound, or running out of disk space.

If you play with it days beforehand, you will find it is a great program. Keep the source flashback file (.fbr) when it asks you to save, even after conversion.

lots of setting, lots to go wrong

Thank you for all the input.

I have now got more than enough to work out which one is the best to use for this recording. I will let you know how I get on,

In the end I used Flashbackrecorder and found it very easy to use.

Just found out an mp4 of the awards is now available free to download online!!

Quicktime can do a screen recording. You would need to record the audio separately though
